Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Did anyone see the 3d printer shown on ABC's Catalyst program last night (22 sept 2011)?
Wouldn't it come in handy. Said it costs 300 british pounds to make and the plans are freeware.

Bob, its printing on glass by the looks of it and the print medium is a plastic string

I suppose you could compare it with a very fancy hot melt glue gun that keeps building up layers of glue (plastic)

It would be better as a hologram driver, I cant see me investing in one this century, a CNC router would be more usefull.
